a.) 


INTRODUCING 
THE JUBILEE COMMISSIONERS 


THE appointment by the General Executive Committee 
of Mrs. J. F. Fisher and Mrs. O. N. Townsend as Chief 


Commissioners of the Jubilee Campaign will be hailed with 


oOo00gogooOoOoooogooOooOoOoOoOoOooooo0o00000 


joy by all who have a conception of the great significance of 
this movement, and an acquaintance with the high order of 
service that these two leaders are accustomed to render in 
the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society. 

A great burden is placed upon them. A burden, how- 
ever, which they take up with joy, confident of the call of 
God to this service. 

They should and will be upheld by the prayers and 
affection and constant co-operation of their fellow workers. 
And together with them we will joyfully march forward 
to conquest, confident in the leadership of the King 
whom we serve.

THE MUSIC WE MARCH TO 


(Jubilee Hymn, Church Hymnal, 654) 


O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, 

To tell to all the world that God is Light: 
That he who made all nations is not willing 

One soul should perish, lost in shades of night. 


Refrain: Publish glad tidings; 
Tidings of peace; 
Tidings of Jesus, 
Redemption and release. 


Behold how many thousands still are lying 
Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, 

With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying, 
Or of the life he died for them to win. 


*Tis thine to save from peril of perdition 

The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down: 
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, 

Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown. 


Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation 
That God, in whom they live and move, is love: 
Tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, 
And died on earth that man might live above. 


Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; 
Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way: 

Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; 
And all thou spendest Jesus will repay. 


He comes again; O Zion, ere thou meet him, 
Make known to every heart his saving grace; 
Let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him, 
Through thy neglect, unfit to see his face.

‘WHY THE JUBILEE? 


“What hath God wrought?” 

On March 23, 1869, on the suggestion of Dr. and Mrs. Wil- 
liam Butler and Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Parker, all of whom had 
been missionaries in India, and with the special assistance of Mrs. 
Lewis Flanders of Tremont Street Church, Boston, a meeting of 
Methodist women was held in that church. It was a very stormy 
day, and but few were present. 

Mrs. Flanders presided. After due consideration, the 
Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episco- 
pal Church was organized, with the following charter members: 
Mrs. William Butler, Mrs. E. W. Parker, Mrs. Lewis Flanders, 
Mrs. Thomas A. Rich, Mrs. William B. Merrill, Mrs. Thomas 
Kingsbury, Mrs. O. T. Taylor and Mrs. H. J. Stoddard. 

The first missionaries sent to the field by this new organiza- 
tion were Miss Isabella Thoburn of Ohio, and Dr. Clara A. Swain 
of New York. Both sailed from New York for India on Novem- 
ber 3, 1869, and reached their destination in January, 1870. 

In 1919 this Society will complete the first fifty years of its 
history, and its “Year of Jubilee” will have come. 

The Society has decided to observe fittingly this Jubilee in a 
five-year celebration, the plans for which are here set forth.

It will be seen at a glance that the regular organization of 
the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, complete and high- 
wrought to the last degree as it is, is here utilized to such an ex-

selected by each Branch. Her duties shall be as follows: 

1. She shall endeavor in every possible way to create, stimu- 
late and maintain Jubilee activity in her territory.

rata share of that conference in the Jubilee advance, as deter- 
mined by the Branch Advisory Council. 

4. She shall secure the appointment in each society in her 
Branch of one Key Woman, designated Jubilee Secretary. 

5. She shall receive and transmit reports as specified in sec- 
tion headed “Reporting.”’ So far as is possible, she shall preserve

at the final Jubilee Meeting in 1919. 

6. She will give herself unto prayer, with our National and 
Branch officers and with the great sisterhood of which we are alla 
part, that the God whom we seek to make known to the ends of 
the earth will glorify His name in crowning this great Jubilee 
movement with success. 


BRANCH ADVISORY COUNCIL 


There shall be in each Branch an Advisory Council composed 
of the following Branch Officers: Branch Supervisor, President,

tions in behalf of the Jubilee movement at the annual Branch 
Meetings, at meetings at Annual Conferences, and at all District 
Meetings. They shall also encourage similar public celebrations 
in auxiliaries and churches. 

They shall make to the regular Executive Committee of the 
Branch such recommendations as seem advisable for financing 
the Jubilee Campaign within their territory. 


THE CONFERENCE SECRETARY 


1. The Conference Secretary shall co-operate with the Branch 
Jubilee officers in pushing forward within her territory all interests 
of the Jubilee.

people’s societies of the district. 

8. She shall be specially charged with the duty of securing

in every church in her district. 

4. To her, with the President, is committed the responsibility

Offerings. This record is of prime importance, and should be

awards in M. O. G. H. 

2. She shall make such reports as are hereinafter provided for. 


SECRETARIES OF SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS 


The General Secretaries of Young People’s, Children’s, Ger- 
man and Swedish Work, also the Secretary of Student Work, 
together with Branch Secretaries of special departments, shall aid 
in spreading information and circulating literature, besides co- 
operating to the fullest possible extent with all Jubilee plans as 
related to their departments.

THE PLAN IN ACTION 


And thus we have told you! 

We have set in order the linked-up array of leaders in the 
Jubilee Campaign, and the work that falls to the lot of each. 
You will see that but little new machinery has been added to 
our already complete and efficient Woman’s Foreign Missionary 
Society organization.

This is the line-up of our Leaders as the Call to the Colors for 
this Jubilee Campaign comes from the Captain of our salvation. 
Here is the sum total of our Forces as they array themselves 
in answer to this call, to move forward over the long, upward 
stretch of the five Jubilee years: 
$19,266 Members in our combined organizations. 
471 Missionaries in active serivce. 
827 Missionaries enrolled up to 1915. 
$1,096,228 Contributed last year (including bequests and ena 
gifts). 
142,922 Magazine subscriptions. 
Surely we who publish the tidings are a “great host.” 


<> 
THE TASK 


What is the Task that is set for our doing? The call for our 
help from the world’s vast field is always loud. But now as we 
enter upon the Jubilee Campaign, world conditions confront us 
in which we may recognize an epochal plan of our Heavenly 
Father, and the call becomes an imperative * “Go ye!” 

Grasp a few facts. 

In India the Methodist Episcopal Church had over 35,000 
baptisms in 1913, and a hundred thousand more converts are 
calling to us for baptism. 

Forty thousand Methodist children in India must have schools. 

In the United States there is one ordained Protestant minister 
to 594 people; in China there is only one to every 476,462 people. 

Seventeen hundred walled cities and thousands of smaller 
towns in China are now open to missionaries for the first time. 

The Philippine Islands are the crux of the Eastern problem. 
If Christianity fails there it must fail in other Eastern lands. 
Our Church must make that mission experiment a success. 

Not one-half of the children born in the Philippines live to 
be a year old. Medical work needed. 

In Korea, for every dollar given by Protestant Churches 
for evangelization, the individual Korean out of his poverty him- 
self gives $10.61. 

There has been an average of nearly one convert an hour for 
every hour of every day and night since the first missionary went 
to Korea.

In Japan the old hostility of the Educational Department to 
Christianity has largely disappeared. ‘Thinking men and women 
are agreed that an intelligent, vigorous Christianity has now a 
chance to be heard as never before in the history of Japan. 

In Malaysia our schools are full to overflowing, and growth 
similar to that of previous years cannot be made because the limit 
of our present school capacity has been reached. 

After four hundred years of Roman Catholic supremacy, 
Mexico has not been Christianized. Unlimited opportunities 
will be offered with the ending of the present conflict. 

South America has but one missionary for every 350,000 of 
its people. There were over a thousand conversions there in 
Methodist missions in six months in 1914. 

Dr. Zwemer says: “Islam is conquering, and nothing can 
stay its onward march or redeem Africa from its menace but the 
carrying of the Gospel aé once into every unoccupied field.” 

There are in Africa to-day at least seventy millions of people 
wholly untouched by Protestant missionary effort. 

In addition to these needs on the field, the Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society is providing a Retirement Fund from which 
each returned missionary will receive a small, but certain allow- 
ance. The payment of these sunset salaries is a matter of simple 
justice. Of the $150,000 set as the total sum desired for this 
purpose, all but $45,000 has been provided for. This sum of 
$45,000, therefore, has been made one of the Jubilee ales 

Such is the challenge! Such the task! 


<> 
THE JUBILEE OBJECTIVE 


The four great objects to be attained in these Jubilee years 
are as follows: 


1. MORE METHODIST WOMEN IN OUR SOCIETIES 


U4 There are in Methodism approximately 1,900,000 women. The 


combined membership of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society 
is 319,266. Our goal is to increase this membership tq_400,000. 
More members means more progress in all lines of our work. 


2. MORE MONEY IN OUR TREASURY 
For the year ending October, 1914, the total receipts of the 
Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, including an unusual special

8. MORE MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS : 
The present combined subscription list of Woman’s Foreign 0 
Missionary Society periodicals is 142,922. - 
/ & By the end of the Jubilee period we are asked to increase : 
“this number to 180,000. In other words, we are to see that thou- = 
sands more of our Methodist women shall be getting their mis- oO 


sionary information through our publications. Enlightenment — 
brings enlistment. 


4. MORE MISSIONARIES ON THE FIELD 
From a beginning of two in 1870, the Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society now maintains 471 missionaries in our world 
field. Up to the present time there are 827 on the complete roll. 
L By the end of the Jubilee period we are asked to increase this 
number to 1,000, or to a trifle more than double our present active © 
force. The attention of well educated, well equipped Christian 
young women is hereby directed to mission service as a life calling. 
From every ramification of the non-Christian world come insistent 
demands for doctors, nurses, teachers, kindergartners and voca- 
tional instructors.

Who will answer, gladly saying, 
Here am I, send me? 

May every phase of the Jubilee activities of Methodist women 
during these five years be permeated with the spirit of consecration 
to the Master, whose name we seek to publish. May He thus be 
more clearly visualized before the young people of the Church, be 
more distinctly heard in a call to go to the foreign field. 


Taken altogether, the request that we promptly advance upon 
the four lines indicated is entirely reasonable and perfectly possible. 

Upon the perpetuation of the spirit of enthusiasm, consecra- 
tion and devotion of the pioneers in the Woman’s Foreign Mis- 
slonary Society fifty years ago has been builded this, one of the 
greatest organizations of women in the world. 

What shall be recorded as the history of the Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society for the next fifty years depends much upon 
the impetus given the great work by us in this Jubilee period. 

“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be 
thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee.”

“LEAGUE OF INTERCESSORS 


The most perfect form of service is prayer. It underlies all 
fruitful activity, and it unlocks the limitless resources of divine 
power. For the furtherance of our great Jubilee enterprise, it is 
the vital arm of strength. 

_ The League of Intercessors is for those who, carrying the 
world on their hearts, would for the sake of countless needy thou- 
sands engage in the effective ministry of united intercession. 

At all depots of supplies may be found a card containing an 
expression of this purpose. Any who will may enroll in the League 
by signing one of these cards, in a spirit of humility and high 
resolve, and sending the same to the President Emeritus, Mrs. 
Cyrus D. Foss. 

The enrollment is voluntary and confidential. A little book 
has also been prepared to meet the wishes of those who would 
keep a list of personal subjects of prayer. The Woman’s Mission- 
ary Friend provides a special department for the League of Inter- 
cessors, where subjects of prayer, answers to prayer and sugges- 
tions, inspirational and educational, will be given.

The aim is no less than that all members of the Society and 
as many others as will join with them, shall individually and 
unitedly give themselves, henceforth, to earnest prayer for the 
coming of God’s Kingdom. Let all who are shut in or deprived 
for any reason of active participation in the work unite in this 
greater ministry. Without such intercession the burdened worker 
at home and the over-taxed missionary on the field would be 
unequal to the task. But with it, as in the ancient days on Car- 
mel’s mount, fire will come from heaven and abundance of rain 
will be poured out on parched fields.

M. 0.G.H., ORDER OF THE GOLDEN HARVEST 


The “Decoration of the Golden Harvest” has recently been 
conferred by the President of China upon a missionary in recog- 
nition of valuable service rendered the republic by him. 

“Valuable service” for a term of five years — and beyond — 
from the last woman in Methodism, is what the Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society is after. 

Herewith is appended a very simple plan, by which every 
woman who reads this may become a M. O. G. H. and be the 
proud wearer of the “decoration” of this Sisterhood of Service 
among Methodist women. 

M. O. G. H. means “Member of the Order of the Golden 
Harvest.’ To membership in this great Sisterhood of Service 
any member of an Auxiliary, Young People’s Society, or Chil- 
dren’s Society in the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society is 
eligible by meeting the requirements, which are as follows: 

The aspirant for membership shall during each of the five 
years of the Jubilee Campaign, beginning now, 

1. Obtain two new paid members. 

2. Contribute a minimum Jubilee offering, over and above 
her regular gifts, and without causing any of them to suffer, of 
two dollars. From members of Young People’s Societies, 50 
cents per year will be required. 

3. Obtain two new paid subscriptions to the Woman’s Mis- 
sionary Friend, 50 cents each; Der Frauen-Missions-Freund, 25 
cents each; Junior Missionary Friend, 20 cents each; or the Study, 
in clubs of 12 copies to one address, 30 cents each. 

At the conclusion of the Jubilee year, 1919, therefore, she will

have secured ten new members; contributed as her special Jubilee 
gift the minimum sum of $10 — or in the case of Young People’s 
Society members, $2.50 — and secured ten new subscriptions. 

Members of Children’s Societies may bring a Jubilee offering, 
from a shining penny up, although none is required of them. 

Each year at the Annual Meeting of District and Branch, 
suitable recognition shall be made of all persons meeting said 
requirements during the year, and an appropriate button shall be 
awarded, showing the degree to which an individual has attained. 

The award will be as follows: 

End of first year, Blue, representing members. 

End of second year, Black and White, representing magazines. 

End of third year, Silver, representing gifts. 

For the final degree of the Golden Harvest a button of Gold 
shall be awarded. ; 

The button gained at the end of the third year shall be worn 
until such time in the fifth year as the necessary requirements for 
the fourth and fifth years are met, when the Golden Button shall be 
awarded immediately, so that it may be worn during Jubilee year. 

Any woman effecting any new Woman’s Foreign Missionary 
Society organization shall be entitled to M. O. G. H. honors for 
that year upon the following conditions: She shall be credited 
with two members only of the new organization, and these, when 
their annual dues are paid. She must secure two new paid-up sub- 
scriptions and make her personal Jubilee gift as in any other year. 

Any person becoming a new member of a Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society organization in any given year of the Jubilee 
five may attain M. O. G. H. by meeting the requirements for 
membership of the year in which she joins and continuing to meet 
the requirements annually till the end of 1919.

THE LARGER VISION 


It is stated elsewhere that a Jubilee gift of $2.00 annually 
for five years in the auxiliary, and 50 cents from young women, is 
to be the minimum gift necessary for membership in the Order of 
the Golden Harvest. 
We would not dare to fix the maximum. That must be left 
to the Heavenly Father, and the loving hearts and quick con- 
sciences of our loyal women.

Many will feel that even at great sacrifice they would increase 
the gift. 

Some who have much of the Master’s gold will surely recog- 
nize in this Jubilee period exceptional opportunity for expressing 
their love for Him by gifts in special form and in large amount.

REPORTS 


If the Jubilee plans are to succeed, the entire Woman’s 
Foreign Missionary Society must move as a unit. Every woman 
from our national officers to the last member of the most remote 
organization must strike her own noteinthe great harmonious chord. 

If this triumphant result be secured, it will be because infor- 
mation concerning the plans and progress of the Jubilee is contin- 
ually flashed forth throughout all our constituency. 

This means that everything pertaining to the workings of the 
Jubilee be speedily, systematically, and in accurate detail, reported. 

Here is the plan which, if followed, will do the work. 


THE LOCAL JUBILEE SECRETARY 

Reports begin where the most vital work always begins, with 
the individual member in the individual auxiliary, or other society. 

The Jubilee Secretary for the auxiliary or other society is the 
pivotal point. 

1. She makes all her reports to the Corresponding Secretary 
of her society, with one exception: As soon as there is an addition 
of five, or any multiple of five, new paid-up members, she shall 
at once report the fact to the Jubilee Supervisor of her Branch. 

2. She reports to the Corresponding Secretary the names of 
all new members received, who during the five Jubilee years shall 
be called “Jubilee Members.” 

3. She shall report all paid-up Jubilee gifts received through 
the local society. She keeps and reports only the records of these 


Jubilee gifts. The money itself goes through the hands of the 


regular local Treasurer, along with other regular receipts. 

4, She records and reports the names of all those securing 
new paid-up subscriptions to the Woman’s Missionary Friend, 
Der Frauen-Missions-Freund, the Junior Missionary Friend and 
the Study. The duty of sending the subscriptions to the Pub- 
lisher rests, as usual, with the local Corresponding Secretary or 
special auxiliary agent.

From the accurate record which she keeps of the names of 
all individuals in her society who from time to time shall meet 
the requirements of M. O. G. H. (see requirements for M. O. G. H. 
elsewhere), she shall report to the local Corresponding Secretary 
in time for the latter to make her regular quarterly report to the 
District Corresponding Secretary. She shall record and report 
the names of individuals effecting any new Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society organization. For each new organization the 
organizer receives credit for two new Jubilee members to be 
counted on M. O. G. H. honors. — 

She shall send items of special Jubilee interest from time to 
time, as she receives them, to the Jubilee Supervisor of her Branch 
to make for general inspiration and help. 


LOCAL CORRESPONDING SECRETARY 


The local Corresponding Secretary makes her usual quarterly 
reports to her District Secretary, using for that purpose the blank 
regularly provided by her Branch. To this blank she shall add 
the following four Jubilee items: 

1. The number of new paid-up Jubilee members, whether 
auxiliary, young people, or children; active, honorary, memorial 
or at large. 

2. The names of all auxiliary members contributing a Jubilee 
offering of $2.00 or more, per year, or in the case of Young People 
or Standard Bearers, fifty cents or more per year; likewise, all 
special Jubilee gifts by members of her auxiliary in whatever 
form they may be made. 

3. The names of all new paid-up subscribers to any of our 
regular Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society periodicals. This 
does not include subscriptions to Branch publications. 

4, The names of all members of her local Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society organizations who have fully met the require- 
ments for M. O. G. H. honors, stating in full the attainments 
upon which their claim is based.

ports the numbers only, not the names of persons attaining 
M. O. G. H. honors. 

She shall carefully preserve the names of all persons in her 
district — women, young people, and children — meeting the re- 


quirements of M. O. G. H.; likewise names of all persons having — 


effected Jubilee organizations. 
On the basis of this record she shall award M. O. G. H. honors 
at the ensuing Annual District Meeting. 


CONFERENCE SECRETARY 
The Conference Secretary shall include in her regular reports 
to the Associate Secretary of the Branch all Jubilee items herein- 
before stated. 


BRANCH ASSOCIATE SECRETARY 
The Branch Associate Secretary shall report quarterly to the 
Jubilee Supervisor of the Branch all Jubilee items as above 
stated. 
BRANCH JUBILEE SUPERVISOR 
The Jubilee Supervisor shall report quarterly to the Jubilee 
Commissioner to whom her Branch is assigned all Jubilee items 
as stated above. She should also communicate at least monthly 
with the Jubilee Commissioner in charge of her Branch.

PUBLICITY 


Reports having been thus fully provided for, suitable publica- 
tion is the next important step. 

All Methodist women should know all about. Jubilee plans 
and Jubilee progress. 

Modern sagacity recognizes the need for publicity for the 
success of all large enterprises. 


THE “FRIEND” 

Our first dependence in the most necessary and vital matter 
of publicity in this great undertaking of Methodist women is our 
faithful and efficient Woman’s Missionary Friend. It will be the 
“Town Crier”’ of the Jubilee. Generous space in each issue of 
the Friend has been allotted to the Jubilee enterprise, with Mrs. 
John F. Fisher, 10427 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, as editor. 
Here will appear messages from the Jubilee Commission, fresh

news from the front, and reports of Jubilee organizations and 
Jubilee members. 

The editor of this department invites from far and near 
human interest stories relating to the Jubilee work, and from all 
officers and leaders such Jubilee items as may be of interest 
throughout our constituency. All such items should reach the 
Jubilee Editor by the twentieth of the month in order to insure 
prompt publication. 

Do not send to the editor reports which should be made to 
District Secretaries as elsewhere stated, nor names of individuals 
reaching M. O. G. H. honors. All such details after they have 
reached the Branch Supervisor are by her properly classified and 
sent to the editor. The editor will welcome brief descriptions of 
Jubilee methods successfully tried out, and news of special interest 
regarding the Jubilee work and workers. 

A special department in the Friend has also been devoted to 
the League of Intercessors, which is under the direction of Miss 
Viola A. Troutman, Mrs. A. W. Patten, and Miss Elizabeth C. 


Northup. 


The greater the circulation of the Friend, therefore, the wider 
will be the diffusion of Jubilee intelligence and inspiration. Here, 
then, is a special reason for increasing the subscription list of the 
Friend. Every new subscriber will thus be exposed to immediate 
infection by the Jubilee germ. 


BRANCH PUBLICATIONS 

In addition to the Friend, the editors of all Branch periodicals 
are requested to give the Jubilee head-liner precedence. 

Bright ideas and earnest incentives among our women are 
often lying around loose. It is urged that in each Branch printer’s 
ink be used for the dissemination of these, and that in the form of 
Jubilee literature they be generously and judiciously circulated.

JUBILEE PLANS MADE PLAIN 
MEMBERS — MONEY — MAGAZINES 


There you have it — the Jubilee enterprise in a nutshell. 

And here follows a plain, primer lesson. If properly learned 
this lesson will make it possible for any woman, even though she 
became a member of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society only

O 


yesterday, to understand the Jubilee, and do something for it to-day. 

1. Get a new member in any of our organizations — Auxiliary, 
Young People’s, or Children’s Society. 

This may be an honorary, memorial, active, or member at 
large for the auxiliary. Honorary membership annual dues are 
one dollar. The last three named are $1.00 plus contingent dues. 
“Member at large’? means a woman who lives where there is no 
auxiliary, but who wishes to belong to the Society. Annual dues 
in the Young Women’s Societies are $1.00, and in Standard Bearer 
Companies, sixty cents. Annual dues in King’s Herald and Little 
Light Bearer groups are twenty-five cents. 

Two members in any one of these societies, or one in each of 
any two different ones, will count for honors as “Member of the 
Order of the Golden Harvest.” ; 

2. The standard of Jubilee giving is as follows: A minimum 
Jubilee gift of $2.00 for each year of the five Jubilee years from 
every auxiliary member of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary 
Society. Fifty cents per year from all Young Women and Stand- 
ard Bearers. No specified Jubilee gift is asked from King’s 
Heralds and Little Light Bearers, but the shining penniesare invited. 

This gift of $2.00, or of fifty cents, for each year of the Jubilee 
period, is to be over and above all amounts which the member 
would ordinarily give, or expect to give, for all purposes of the 
Society. The Jubilee offering must be left as a matter of con- 
science with the giver, who will not allow any of her usual gifts 
through the regular channels of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary 
Society to suffer because of her special Jubilee gift. 

But publish abroad the important tidings that two dollars 
is the minimum gift in the auxiliary! If the $1,600,000 we strive 
for in 1919 is even approached thousands of our loyal women must 
annually multiply by substantial figures that minimum sum of two. 

If, in this day of the “‘high cost of living” and of other things, 
even two extra dollars seem difficult, this amount may be solicited 
from those who in the ordinary course of events are not contrib- 
utors to the work of our organization. 

Should this method not be practicable for all, and in order 
that no woman may fail of her heart’s desire, still another method 
has been devised. After securing two members, on the way to 
M. O. G. H. honors, the woman who for any reason finds herself 
unable to contribute the Jubilee offering of $2.00 annually, may,

pooooooooDOoODoOoOoOOOOooOoOoOoOooOOOROOoDODDOODoOOOoOON 


by securing other new paid members whose annual dues shall 
amount to at least two dollars, be recorded as having given her 
Jubilee gift for any one year. In the case of young women, an 
additional paid-up membership of fifty cents will be considered 
the equivalent of a Jubilee gift. This plan will continue through 
the five-year period. 

8. Get a new subscription for any one of our four Woman’s 
Foreign Missionary Society periodicals — the Woman’s Mission- 
ary Friend, fifty cents; Der Frauen-Missions-Freund (“German 
Friend’’) twenty-five cents; the Junior Missionary Friend, twenty 
cents; or the Study, a club of twelve copies to one address, thirty 
cents. 

Two new subscriptions for any one of these, or one new for 
each of two different ones, will count on M. O. G. H. honors. 

_ New subscriptions in clubs of ten for the Junior Friend will be 
credited as two for M. O. G. H. honors, as will also two new clubs 
of twelve copies each for the Study. | 

As soon as any or all of these requirements for M. O. G. H. 

are met, names of new paid members, the amount of the Jubilee 
gift, and the names of new paid subscribers — with magazines 
subscribed for specified — should be reported to the Jubilee Secre- 
tary of the local society. When all M. O. G. H. requirements are 
fulfilled, she will send the names of all meeting them to the District 
Corresponding Secretary. At the Annual Meeting of District 
and Branch, the appropriate button for each particular year shall 
be awarded. 

If questions arise which perplex you, write to your Branch 
Jubilee Supervisor, whose name and address you will find printed 
elsewhere. 

These plans are plain. They have been tested and have 
made good. But in all and through all must be prayer; more im- 
portant than plans, for in prayer alone is our sure success. 

Now, dear women, to the task!

York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Minneapolis. In like manner 
the following Branches should report to Mrs. J. F. Fisher, 10427 
Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio: Cincinnati, Northwestern, Des 
Moines, Topeka, Columbia River and Pacific. Each Supervisor 
should communicate with her Commissioner as to progress in her 
Branch, and all matters of Jubilee interest, at least once a month. 

A thoroughly arranged Jubilee Campaign Meeting should be 
held at least annually throughout the Jubilee period, both in large 
centers and upon the group plan in rural communities. Write 
to your Branch Supervisor for definite suggestions as to plans. 

Each Branch shall decide for itself the object, or objects, to 
which its own Jubilee offering shall be appropriated. 

_ If the Advisory Council of any Branch considers it advisable to 
extend further the Jubilee organization to include both Conference 
and District Supervisors, this may be done. 

M. O. G. H. buttons may be obtained with all other Jubilee 
material from the Branch depot of supplies. 

Buttons for the first year’s honors in M. O. G. H., likewise a 
model in printed form of charts for use in Annual Meetings of 
Districts, will be available for districts holding such meetings in 
the spring of 1915. 

M. O. G. H. buttons will be awarded only at the Annual 
Meeting of District and Branch. 

The M. O. G. H. buttons awarded to the King’s Heralds are 
exactly “like mother’s.” The qualifications are identical except 
that no offering is required. Voluntary gifts are invited, however. 

Remember, that constant publicity should be given the Jubilee 
in every meeting of Auxiliaries and of Young People’s and Chil- 
dren’s Societies. 

For further information in regard to the League of Interces- 
sors, address Miss Viola A. Troutman, 1603 North Kansas Avenue, 
Topeka, Kansas. 

Send samples, all unique programs, souvenirs, pennants, 
ribbons, etc., pertaining to Jubilee methods, to the Branch Super- 
visor. They will be a part of the great Jubilee Exhibit at the final 
gathering of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary clans in 1919. 

In reporting to the editor of the Jubilee Department of the 
Friend the name of any organization, state accurately its location 
as to city or town, and the Branch to which it belongs.
